Miami Heat are out-matched

The super team is not that super after all.

The Miami Heat recently went on a five-game losing streak before braking it against the two-time defending champs this past Thursday.

The Heat are considered a super team with LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh but after those three players, the Heat do not have anyone else to fall back on. The team also does not have a center.

Miami is 45-21 and its record against the best teams in the NBA is weak. Only winning two games, both against the Los Angeles Lakers, and losing three to the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics, two against the Dallas Mavericks and one against the San Antonio Spurs.

With two "closers" on the team (James and Wade,) the Heat are only 5-13 in games decided by five points or less.

And James and Wade is 1-12 when games are 3 points or less in the fourth quarter or overtime.

Despite already clinching a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and third in the East at this moment, the Heat are not being counted on to come out of the East.

Without a center and inconsistent production from its bench, the Heat are not making the NBA finals this season.

0-6 against the two teams ahead of them (Boston and Chicago,) the Heat are not going to be favorites to defeat them.

If the Heat end up as the No. 4 seed in the East and the New York Knicks end up as the No. 5 seed in the East, then the Heat are not going to be able to get out of the first round because the Knicks are capable of upsetting the Heat in the playoff series.

The super team is more like a three man band.
